Ramification of ℚ₂(√2) #

Adjoining a root of X² - 2 gives a totally ramified quadratic extension of ℚ₂. Its root is a uniformizer, its residue field has two elements, and its different and discriminant exponents are both three. The nonidentity automorphism sends √2 to -√2, so its displacement at the integral generator has valuation three. Consequently the lower ramification groups are the whole Galois group through index two and trivial from index three.

This explicit filtration is useful for comparing lower numbering in the dyadic cyclotomic extension with its quadratic subextension: the third lower group of ℚ₂(√2)/ℚ₂ is trivial.
